NO.

1. Historically, Arabic was used as an official language in Pakistan region (excluding the north) only during the brief period of Arab rule (711-855/1010 AD). So, Arabic language has very little historical basis in Pakistan.

2. Linguistically, Arabic is a Semitic language unrelated to the Indo-Iranian languages of Pakistan. Thus, Arabic language is an alien language to Pakistan's native languages (minus the loan-words and script).

3. Geographically, the Arab world is detached from Pakistan, with no land linking them. Therefore, an Arabized Pakistan will be an isolated Arabic island in the middle of an Indo-Iranian regional bloc.

4. Arab extremists and their hatemongering ideologies (Wahabism/etc.) have caused instability in Pakistan with sectarian violence. Arabic as Pakistan's national language will further welcome those destructive elements and make the country unstable.

5. Arabic might be the language in which Quran was originally written, but the Quran is and can always be translated. Just because The Bible (New Gospel) might have been originally written in Aramaic language, it does not mean that all Christian countries should adopt Aramaic as their national language!

6. Arabic language is only the mother-tongue of ethnic Arabs, and except for the Quranic usage/purposes it is not used/spoken by non-Arabs.

NO. Arabic is not a language spoken by a large number of people in Pakistan. As a result, it would not be effective as a national language. Urdu, Pashtun, Gujrati, Sindhi, Balochi, and English are all far better candidates for Pakistan's national languages.

What language is most common to Muslims?

Arabic is the language most commonly used by Muslims because it is the language of the Koran. Most Muslims believe their Holy Book should only be read in the original Arabic, so, whatever other language they know, they generally also learn Arabic. Arabic literacy, however, among non-Arabs is staggeringly low because of low literacy rates in native non-Arabic languages and difficulties in learning Arabic. The most popular (in terms of people) Islamic languages would be Bahasa Indones, Urdu, Bangla, and English.

Is it better to study a country's national language or a country's official language when traveling?

It is usually better to study a country's national language because it is often more widely spoken and understood by the local population. However, studying a country's official language can also be beneficial, especially for official documents and business interactions. Ultimately, it depends on the specific country and your travel needs.
